A Painful Chapter in the Peer
age.

London Cor. Philadelphia Telegraph.
The all'ru1ing power whom some
men call Providence and others Fate is
responsible for some curious and sig
nlficant dealings with those with
whom the unthinking world sets down
as fortunes most favorite pets. Here
for instance, is his grace Henry Fitz-
alan Howard, K. G., fifteenth duke of
Norfolk and hereditary earl marshal
OF England, almost fresh from the
grave OF an idolized wife, shedding Bit
ter but unavailjng tears over the heir
to his title, now just recovered from
an attack OF illness. With an annual
income exceeding 81, 100000. splen-
did palaces in which to reside, and q
title which dates back to the time of
Richard ILL.,, one would think that
the duke ought to be a happy man;
but. as matter Of fact, there is not
a simple cottager or laborer on his
vast estate at Arundel whom he does
not envy one at least OF his posses.

ness in his lusty, healthy lads, grow,
ing up to help him in his old age
but the duke, with all his wealth.
and all his advantages, is forbidden
such joys. All that remains to him
is the poor creature known as the earl
OF Arundel ind Surrey. Born eight
years ago, this heir to potential
wealth and position is blind, is deaf,
is dumb, is deformed and weak in in
te!lect. Life to him must be q burden
a riddle which he cannot solve; and
not all the wealth of England can al

that this wreck of her hopes hastened
the death of the duchess, and it is Ger.

envy him his rent roll should look al

and admit that there are some things
more precious than wealth. If the

Some one-l think it was the par.

Our eyes met; our hands touched,
as, resting those serious eyes upon
me, he said: II have had the pleas
ure of meeting Miss Kenwood before"
l cannot tell you how it happened
that We were all walking out through
the church.yard towards the highway,
and found myself alone with Robert.
He was the first to break the silence.
1t panied me to think it was q com
monplace remark.
"How is Kathleen" / asked en-
deavoring to show him how little I
cared for the past, and how, without
betraying the slightest emotion, I
could inquire after his wife's health:
"Kathleen!" He looked rather
dazed at the question. II believe she
is well, but not happy poor grill"
he believed she was we'll. How
strange! Had he grown weary of her
as OF me? Was he utterly devoid Of
honor?
~"Not happy?" said, as I toyed
necvously at tho roses in my bodice.
"She should be very happy as-as-
your wife," / faltered.
"As my wife," he said, gazing in
blank amazement. Ibid you-oh
Matte, you have judged me wrongly
never married Kathleenl''
He looked like q man upon whom a
sudden truth had dawned, or one &C.
cused at q great Wong who was able
to prove mis- innocence.
It was in the twilight before service
that he told me all. The notice con-
corning Robert Preston and wife re-
terred to his cousin. He had entered
the ministry from choice, as he came
into large fortune through the death
OF an uncle. True he admired Kath.
leen as q man would admire g. beauti.
full woman, but he never had the
SLIGHTEST feeling of love for her.
The scene in the winery was simple
ruse gotten up by Robert and Kath.
!een to excite my jealousy, little dream
ing of the result.
Kathleen made an unfortunate
match, like most beautiful women.
Poor girl! what a dear kind letter she
sent to us, telling how happy she was
to hear we were reunited!
"Just think of it," said Mrs. Briggs.
"He came back to her after the other
lady had given him the mitten. 1
wouldn't take him. Would you?"
We can afford to laugh at her idle
gossip, we are so happy, Robert and I.
l smile proudly to think that without
"setting my cap" Icaptured the new
curate after all.

Jenny lind's Romance.

from an Excnange.
Jenny Lind's husband, Otto Gold.
schmidt, though he is quite bald, is
fifteen years younger than his wife.
The story of their marriage is g. ro-
mantle one and little known. During
her travels through America, Sir
Julius Benedict, her accompanist, was
obliged suddenly to return to Eng
land, and then she remembered a.
poor young German musician she had
met the year before, and sent for him
at once to supply Sir julius place.
1t was not long before the young
musician was violently in love with
the prima donna, but, being poor and
unknown, and so much her junior, he
had no hope of any success. Finally
he became so unhappy he resigned his
place, and being pressed by the can
tatrice to tell the reason for such g.
step, he confessed his hopeless love,
and was astonished and delighted
when she fell into his arms and de-
clared she had loved him from the
first. They have been extremely
happy together, and now people
scarcely guess that she is the oldest
OF the two.

Tales of Forrest.

Auo AOIO"1uS interesting luClOenC IN
the army life of Gen. Bedford Forrest
were witnessed by an eyewitness, and
now for the first time published:
In December, 1862, Gen. N. B. For
rest crossed the Tennessee river and
made a raid through west Tennessee,
which portion Of the State was forti-
fled in many places. all of which were
strongly garrisoned. While making a
feint against Jackson Ito enable the
larger part OF his brigade to uninter-
ruptedly capture the small stockades

ed up to the General and exclaimed
excitedly:
General. General! the Yankees are
coming up in the rear!'
Without moments hesitation and
in the most Indifferent manner mag
Unable Forrest replied:
II don't kere a--. I'll about
face an I'll be in thar rar."
While crossing the Tennessee river
(returning from the same raid) his
rear was strongly pressed by the fed
erals. The ferryboats had to be pulled
back and forth by hand. The weather
was terribly cold and as the men haul
ed upon the wet ropes their hands
would literally freeze to them. For
rest thought those on the east side
were working too slowly, and crossing
over he Immediately put every one to
work-officers as we'll as privates.
The colonel who had been left in
command on the west side sent his
sergeant major across the river with
an important message to Forrest.
The sergeant found the general hauling
on q rope, alternately encouraging
and damning every one near him. He
ran up to Forrest and began:
General, Colonel Woo"
''Damn Colonel whoever. Ketch
hold OF this rope, and help pull the
boat I'M"
"But, General, COL"
'Don't talk to me. Help pull this
boat in, or I'll throw you in the riv.
en-" shouted Forrest.
''But, General. Pm sent" began
the sergeant, when Forrest seized him,
and with one twist of his muscular
arm lifted the messenger clear off his
feet, and stood him in the water waist
deep. The sergeant, to save himself
as he went over, seized hold of For
rests coat, and pulled the General in
with him. Forrest retained his hold
OF the sergeant, and, exclaimine,
"spunky, dog, eh!" he soused him un-
der the water and held him there q
few seconds; then lifting the sergeant's
head above the water long enough for
him to catch his breath, he would
shove him under the water again, and
again bringing him up, would repeat:
"Spunky dog. chi"
After immersing the sergeant sever
al times, Forrest helped him ashore,
when tho latter, half strangled and
laughing, tried to draw his pistol.
Forrest gave him two or three slaps
on his back to help him expel the
water from his lungs, saying at the
same time:
"You d. little fool, don't you
know your pistol is wet and won't
fire." Jacksonville News Herald.

Fidelity.
Several works bearing unique titles.
written in fascinating style, and Civ
Ing evidence o: wonderful imaginative
power have lately been received by
the reading public with much popu.
tarity and pleasure.
Perhaps the most striking of them
!s the book bearing the odd title OF
"She." In this the author has fairly
outdone himself in his popular line.
Ayesha and her beloved Kallikrates
are unique characters in fiction.
Ayesha, the heroine, is q beautiful
creature who tasted of the essence OF
natures forces at the fountain head,
and became immortal.
Her patient waiting for the coming
OF kallikrates, the beloved of her
youth, whose individuality was
maintained through centuries, though
the change called death regularly oc-
Cured, only to be followed by re birth,
Is tine illustration of woman's fideli-
ty.
The closing scene, when she conducts
kallikrates to the very center OF the
earth. the birthplace OF all life, in or.
der that he may taste ofimmortality,
IS q fit climax to the fine creation.
The question naturally suggested by
this strikingly original story is wheth.
er there is not somewhere in nature,
q potent force whereby life may at
least be temporarily prolonged.
Mrs. Annie Jenness Miller, editor
Of "Dress" says: "In every instance
Warmers Safe Cure has the effect to
give new energy and vitality to all my
powers" Nine. Gray, teacher of Ora
tory and Physical Culture at SYRIA
cuse, declares: Before tried physic-
al culture and Warmers seize cure, I
was 3 confirmed invalid. / owe
much to that excellent remedy,
and do not hesitate to acknowledge
it,"
Human life seems too short, though
men in former ages lived longer than
those OF the present. History tells us
that they lived more in accordance
with natures laws-their mode OF liv.
ing was extremely simple, and in their
daily life they followed the dictates of
human intelligence.
If sickness comes, we of to-day, seek
the remedy among the artificial forces
instead Of resorting to the field OF ma.
ture.
If when diseases come, we would
consult nature, the chances are that
we would fare better, Tor we would
then treat the cause of such dis
orders. Modern research has shown
that most OF the commonly known
diseases owe their origin to the un.
healthy state of the kidneys, the
blood purifiers of the system, and if
they are kept in a healthy state by
the use OF Warmers safe cure, a vege-
table compound and simple produc.
ton OF nature, much of the prevailing
sickness would be happily averted.
1t is probable that the author OF
''she' derived many of his beautiful
imaginings from close communings
with nature, for we are all agreed
that whatever is of or from nature, is
more beautiful and wholesome, than
that which is artiticially constructed.

European convulslona, Hand.

European Commissioned sland.
In 9 letter to his paper, tho Troy
Times. from Vienna, Hon. John Fran:
els predicts that European convul:
sion is not far distant. His long resi-.
dence III Europe and his acquaintance
With leading statesmen there give ex,
ceptlonal weight to the forecast which
he makes as follows:
The political situation OF Europe Is
now the ST bject of great anxiety and
not little serious apprehension in
business circles and among Ministers
Of State. The continental nations,
with the exception of Germany. are
burdened with almost insupportable
debt. It is all they can do to preserve
credit and position with peace assured
them. A great European war would
involve appalling national bankrupt.
cies, shaking the very foundations oil
business throughout the continent
and bringing untold distress upon
millions of people. And the fact isnot
to be disputed that there is imminent
danger of q great war Of the nations
here: A very intelligent and sagacious
publicist said to me: "War is in the
atmosphere; it is sure to come within
eighteen months; it may break out be.
fore the lapse of half a year." Aca1e.
full and observing financier connected
with one of the solid institutions here
said: "Austria would get on we'll but
for the danger of war, and this dan:
ger l fear is imminent. Therefore our
industries are depressed and the gen.
eral prosperity is retarded" tits not
believed here that Russia will inaugu.
rate hostilities on the Bulgarian ques.
tion. Russia will not interfere direct
ly to drive Prince Ferdinand, late OF
the Austrian army, from the Bulga-
rian throne. She may plot with
money to create a revolution against
him, and so drive him out. but will
not resort to arms for that purpose.
But Ferdinand can have no peace in
his position. 1t Is untenable; he can
not stay long. And he is g. weak sprig
OF Coburg at best. War will most
likely be inaugurated with hostilities
between France and Germany. This
is the general belief. The Car OF
Russia hates Germany; this is no Sc.
cret. Russia would probably take q
hand in, after q little, to help France.
This would bring out Austria to the
assistance OF Germany. Italy could
not remain neutral; England would be
obliged to take some action. A stu
pendous war is among the possibili.
ties, it not the probabilities, of the
near future.

Power of a Kind Voice,
From Elihu Burritt.

There is nopower OF love so hard to
get and keep as a kind voice. A kind
hand is deaf and dumb. It may be
rough in flesh and blood, yet do the
work of q soft heart and do it with q
soft touch. But there is no one thing
that love SO much needs as a. sweet
voice to tell what it means and feels;
and it is hard to get and keep 1t in
the right tone. One must start in
youth and be on the watch night and
day,at work and play, to get and
keep voice that shall speak at all
times the thoughts of a kind heart.
1t Is often in youth that one gets a
voice or q tone that is sharp, and
sticks to him through life, and stirs
up i'll will and grief, and falls like a
drop OF gall on the sweet joys of home.
Watch it day by day as pearl OF
great price, for it will be worth more to
you in days to come than the best
pearl hid in the sea. A kind voice is
to the heart what light is to the eve.
1t'sa light that sings es we'll as shines.
